Abstract: The application of traditional thermal insulation materials requires thicker building envelopes in order to satisfy the requirements of the emerging zero energy and zero emission buildings. This work summarizes the steps from the state-of-theart thermal insulation materials and solutions, like vacuum insulation panels (VIP), gas-filled panels (GFP) and aerogels which all have various drawbacks, to our concepts and experimental investigations for making superinsulation materials (SIM) like e.g. nano insulation materials (NIM).

Abstract: A study was made of a porous aerostatic bearing by analysis of its relevant static characteristics. The purpose was to authenticate the theoretical computing results in terms of previously published data. The porous aerostatic bearing and its working mechanism was first introduced after which the mathematical model and the boundary conditions were built. Graphs of the characteristics of the porous aerostatic bearing were made that included data about capacity and clearance and a comparison was made between these findings and the accepted published data to establish and verify correctness of the theory
